In the turn, Trump officers will enable a huge offshore wind park in NY to continue

On Monday, the Trump administration allowed the construction on a huge wind farm off the coast of Long Island, a month after Federal Officials had issued an extremely unusual stop work order that had brought the 5 billion dollar project to the brink of collapse.

In a statement, Governor Kathy Hochul, Democrat of New York, said that she had spent weeks to press President Trump and Interior Minister Doug Burgum to increase the government's wind farm.

The project known as an empire wind is built by the Norwegian energy giant equinor and is expected to supply enough electricity to supply 500,000 New York houses.

“After countless conversations with Equinor and Officials of the White House, the work and business to emphasize the importance of this project, I am pleased that President Trump and Secretary Burgum have agreed to increase the arrangement of the stop work and to drive this project on Monday evening.

When the Trump government stopped working on the Empire Wind last month, she fascinated observers and sent shock waves through the wind industry.

After a four -year environmental examination of the federal government, Equinor had received all the necessary permits for the project, and the company had already started to lay foundations for the turbines of the project on the sea floor. Another 1,500 workers had started building a seater terminal in Brooklyn.
